The Texas Live Stock Journal says:
"What ABOUT the Houston refrigerator?
is a common question now. Quien sabe;
But in view of the fact that the prime
movers on the part of the cattlemen in
this matter are now in the American Cat
lie Trust, and have one of the largest es-
adjustments of their own in full blast in
Chicago, we would venture to say that
the Houston refrigerator will fail to ma
ttralize. A large majority of ranchmen
always hold back to let some
more enterprising msn go for
ward to take the initiative, and
Gfter it is q success they are willing
10 come in to share the benefits and tell
how we "killed the besr." The said en-
ranchmen this time saw what
they thought 8 good thing for them
in 8 combination with the slaughterers,
and have entered an "unholy league" as
some profess to know it, o participated
the profits of the business till 1t is finally
sold to the consumer. The Houston re
frigerator may be established, but it will
dave to be done oy other parties than
those who first moved in the matter but
were not supported.
